Which is better, the shrapnel connector or pogo pin connector?

Technology is constantly advancing, and the passion for people to create never fades. The updated stories have been playing out in the precise connector family. It is showed that the revolution of technology from traditional shrapnel connector to general pogo pin connector. This passage compares the traditional shrapnel connector with the pogo pin connector from below some aspects.

1. The durability

Compared with the shrapnel connector, the pogo pin connector guarantees the stability of electrical properties by remaining the position unchanged in the press procedure. The pogo connector can reach 20,000 times ( up to100,0000 times), but the shrapnel only reach 5,000 times. Therefore, the pogo pin connector is more durable than the shrapnel connector.

2. The space

First of all, the shrapnel connector occupies less space on PCB to achieve thin and miniaturization of the body. What’s more, the pogo pin connector has short development cycles because it doesn’t have to make a mold. Last but not least, the pogo pin connector has a longer life than the shrapnel connector.

3. The application

The shrapnel is applied to a variety of contact devices, or as a sensitive element, elastic support, orientation equipment, and flexible connection in automatic devices or detection instruments. The pogo pin connector is not only used in TWS, e-cigarette, and so on kinds of consumer electronics but also applied to health care, automotive electronics, military, and some demanding industries.

We have compared these two connectors to though above three aspects. With the progress of technology and the change of the times, the standard of industries has been greatly improved. So that the requirement for small parts in precision instruments are also higher and higher. To a connector, they all have their own merits. It’s hard to choose which is the best one, but choosing the right product is the most important thing. CFE has been devoted to pogo pin connector for more than 14 years and is committed to providing you with pogo pin connector solutions.
